Multiresolution analysis on compact Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

In the chapter "Multiresolution Analysis on Compact Riemannian Manifolds" Isaac Pesenson describes multiscale analysis, sampling, interpolation and approximation of functions defined on manifolds. His main achievements are: construction on manifolds of bandlimited and space-localized frames which have Parseval property and construction of variational splines on manifolds. Such frames and splines enable multiscale analysis on arbitrary compact manifolds, and they already found a number of important applications (statistics, CMB, crystallography) related to such manifolds as two-dimensional sphere and group of its rotations.
